1. فتىً باردُ الأشعار يفظعُ لفظُه

    بها وهو منحوسُ الجبينِ شتيمُ

    A youth with cold poetry, his words are harsh

    With it, while he is inauspicious of brow, abusive

  2. يُقرِّبُ وجهاً منكًَ في خَلقِ قِربَةٍ

    كأنّ انهدال الأنف منهُ قَدومُ

    He brings a face near you in the manner of intimacy

    As if the lowering of his nose towards you is an arrival
